(via) The Lost & Found is a cool-looking den of originality located in a “Grade II listed” historical building in the UK city of Birmingham. Though owned by a gargantuan restaurant chain with locations across Britain (Pitcher & Piano), there’s surprisingly very little in the place that comes across as false or reeks of the cookie-cutter.
Blue Omega bar stools line up in front of a bespoke bar, made from vintage fireplace surrounds, whilst engraved pendant lights from Uniche hang above. The rich botanical wallpaper was designed by Kai Design with the branding and identity studio Arm & Eye, and printed by Forrest & Jones […] Inspiration for the space was taken from a mysterious Victorian character, Hettie G. Watson, a 19th century explorer and professor who travelled the world in search of new botanical species which she kept hidden in a secret room. This is certainly reflected in the interiors, as it is a glorious scrapbook of maps, postcards, captured butterflies, lit bird cages and canopies of plants.
